As you can see it gives me this error about a missing bracket in the 13th line. I added this "missing bracket", I have also deleted the whole line and then rewritten it but it keeps giving me this error and doesn't let me run the game. If someone can please help I'd really appreciate it, thank you.

People will tell me to "use open game art" or to just "buy assets". It's incredibly hard to find that many assets in the same style for a single game, and many hobby developers, like myself, have a budget of $0.

For me, asset creation seems to be the hardest part of game development, as I've just never been any good at art.

An example for me is this game I've been...

The Nintendo Switch is so freaking amazing.
So much amazing good games in such a short time, handheld/couchTV, also not too expensive, fun at parties, fun alone, and so on.
Personally, host to three of my favourite games of ALL time: DARK SOULS, Bayonetta and Skyrim 5.

I think the Nintendo Switch, 10 years from now will be seen as one of the best consoles ever created in the history of humanity. Together there on top with the S.N.E.S., and P.S.2.

In this game, you have to draw whatever the previous poster said the next drawing should be in a pixel art-y manner. Then you post your drawing here and include a phrase describing what the next person has to draw.

You may reserve a post and then edit it with your work after you've finished drawing to avoid multiple people drawing the same thing.

It seems like some bigoted hate campaign to say that A. people are narcissist and that B. narcissists are bad.

The definition of narcissist has been so removed from its original meaning that it is no longer even funny. The original meaning was just a god who was vain and turned into a flower. I don't see what is so bad about flowers....

So I am kind of conflicted in this. While it's true that bad DRM that breaks the game or makes the game unplayable is a hinderence, does it justify making it easier to pirating your game by not implementing any DRM what so ever?

Minecraft is a sandbox/survival game; it involves mining, crafting, building, surviving, adventuring, and enchanting, and is exceedingly popular. Minecraft was created by Markus "Notch" Persson from Sweden and is now being primarily developed by Jens Bergensten(AKA Jeb).
